There was once a farmer. He lived near a road. It was
not a busy road, but from time to time, cars passed the farm.
Near the farm gate, there was a large hole in the
road. This road was always full of water, and the drivers of the cars could not
see how deep the hole was. They thought it was not deep.
Then when they drove into the hole, they could not
drive out because it was too deep.
The farmer did not spend much time working on his
farm. He spent most of it watching the hole.
When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with
his tractor(拖拉机) and the driver gave him a lot of money
for doing this.
One day, the driver of a car said to him, “You must
make a lot of money by pulling cars out of this hole night and day.”
“Oh, no,” the farmer said. “I don’t pull cars out of
the hole at night. At night I fill(填) the hole
with water.”
